Scotland fans in Stuttgart could not be accused of failing to do their bit for Steve Clarke’s side as they delivered one of the most spine-tingling national anthems of the European Championship so far ahead of their showdown match with Hungary.
Having lost their Group A opener to Germany and taken a 1-1 draw with Switzerland, Scotland knew they would likely need a victory to book their place in the last-16, either through qualification as one of the top-two teams in the group or by finishing as one of the four best third-place finishers.
While victory over Hungary would not mathematically book Scotland a place in the knockout stages, it would require a series of results to go against them to eliminate them after the group stage, with four points likely to be enough to make the next round.
The Tartan Army, therefore, were in limbo in Stuttgart, determined to stay in Germany for another week after taking widespread plaudits for their support and behaviour since the tournament began.
One aspect of the fanatical support that has been picked out is the national anthem, with supporters belting out ‘Flower of Scotland’ at the top of their voice that has made for must-watch viewing.
